Unfortunately, as much as I want to jump on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon for being the first AA in the L, in his interviews, he downplays his identity. He identifies with being a Christian. This dude could be inspiring so many more people by embracing his identity as a racial minority in the NBA, but he stuck his foot in his mouth. If he didn't say a damn thing, he would still bee an inspiration to everyone for just making it in the L. On the other hand, for him to come out and overtly downplay the impact of his Asian-American identity is extremely disappointing to me.
Lin doesn't have an army of fans and supporters for being a Christian. Lin didn't get signed by the Warriors for being a Christian. His Christianity isn't the reason why he's hyped. If this dude wasn't Asian-American, he'd be a nobody. His Taiwanese great grandparents must be rolling in their graves to hear this dude make it and not rep his people.

Nice, it's good to see an Asian-American in the League. Hope he performs to the best of his ability and works hard.

you should stick your foot in your mouth
i would be sick and tired of hearing that asian-american label every time he's mentioned in an interview. Picture if he did that, and he flopped hardcore. He'll be the Jin of the NBA. Let the man do his thing, once he's successful if he wants to talk about his ethnicity then that's fine and dandy.

^ LOL. Jin is getting money in Asia now tho.
If he wasn't Asian American, there wouldn't even be a JLin thread here.

co-sign, but even if he's the Jin of the NBA, his influence on that asian-american demographic will still be undeniable....look at music. the way far east movement has that annoying single played everywhere now, I don't think one can deny Jin indirectly made it possible.
